I could have sworn there was a black lab on the Great Seal... We should add one. Can we get the Legislature to add a black labrador to the Great Seal? They've obviously got tons of time on their hands this session...

Who cares if we have an official "state dog". How about spending more time dealing with school financing and other budget issues. How about more level headed discussions of substance about issues that effect peoples lives and help those in need? Wouldn't that be novel...

And folks, buy a Cairn if you're jonesing for a connection to Wizard of Oz beyond the refrigerator magnets, but for the rest of you, don't forget the perfectly fine mixed breeds at your local animal shelter that need a good home. They'll be grateful if you do.

The Wizard of Oz thing should die. Now. As of it isn't irritating enough when I travel outside of this state and the people I encounter think a 70-year-old joke is still funny, now we have elected officials considering legislation that would further encourage those morons from other states to continue with their unfunny "You're not in Kansas anymore" remarks.

Oh well, the state's already a bad joke why not just embrace it and go forward with this crap. Then our elected officials can say they actually accomplished something.

Following this logic, the state tree should be the enchanted talking apple tree.
The state flower should be poppies.
The state alternative transportation method should be brooms or balloons.
And let's just make the state weather feature a tornado.
Why stop with the dog?

Oh good grief!!! Did one of our tax paid officials bring this to the floor or congress? Gee, why don't we invest 30 grand on a private research firm to figure out if it is necessary or not? Get a frigg'n life people!!
